Managing Holiday Requests the Easy Way

Managing holiday requests can be a headache for businesses using spreadsheets, emails, or messaging apps. Overlapping requests, last-minute changes, and forgotten approvals create stress and staffing gaps. FlowRota makes holiday management simple, transparent, and efficient.

Why Holiday Management Can Be Challenging

Common issues include:

• Manual tracking: Paper forms or spreadsheets are error-prone and hard to update in real time.
• Overlapping leave: Multiple requests for the same period can cause staffing shortages.
• Last-minute changes: Email or chat approvals can be missed or delayed.
• Compliance risks: Managers must ensure statutory leave entitlements are respected.
